1927

11 Rolling Lane Wayland, MA 01778

The class of 1927's 60th reunion is getting closer every day. Brad Fuller has stepped in with both feet into the void created by the death of Steve Tracy and has been working closely with Paul Hannah to insure that all arrangements have been adequately taken care of. As of today, February 10, 84 classmates have already signed up and 34 more have said that they hope to come. One interesting event will be the appearance of the Decibelles, which is a group of ten undergraduate girl singers. Larry Scammon has agreed to be the reunion treasurer and Pat Partridge will replace Steve Tracy as cochairman with Frank Strong of the fall reunions. Just one more item relative to the reunion! Brad Fuller says that Hanover is sending out applications for room reservations. When you receive yours, please make sure that you mail both the application and your check directly to Brad so that he will know who has signed up.

Another doctor has thrown away his scalpel. Tom Anglem, who for years was a successful surgeon at the Deaconess Hospital in Boston, has finally concluded the tapering off process which he has been following for several years and has retired to his home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He had expected to devote more serious energy to his recent avocation of learning to play the piano, but he was as disappointed as was his teacher when she, a young lady of 91, recently became hospitalized.

Mike Choukas's son Mike Jr. was honored last fall when Vermont Academy dedicated a new ice rink to him. Mike Jr., who holds an important post in the administration in Hanover, also gave a stirring tribute to Steve Tracy last January at the memorial service held in the latter's honor at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H.

The letter which came at Christmas time from Rog Bury was packed with stories of the exciting trip which he and his then new bride, Lolly, took around the world in 1986. They started off on Lindblad's 40-passenger vessel The World Discoverer, knowing that this was the year of Halley s Comet and fully expecting to see it. Imagine their disappointment when, on the first day out, the lecturer, who was a distinguished astronomer, announced that "Sorry, but you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time." Later during the trip, they Burys flew to Australia, where they boarded the Italian liner Danae on its way around the world with about 200 Italians and an equal number of Germans. They left the Danae at Sri Lanka, the Island of Elephants, for a flight to London. Lolly had as a seatmate an Indian lady, who, when pressed, replied "Of course I have an elephant."

We also received cards from the following which we gratefully acknowledge: Bob Bliss, Johnny Hough, Pat Partridge,Gordon Hope, Glen Hanaford, DickHains, Bob Gilboy, and Tom Gillespie.

We are sorry to report that Joseph D.Gay died in Sarasota, Fla., on December 13, 1986. Details appear later in the maga- zine under the obituary section.
